Paasha

Paasha is a Turkish café and restaurant at 31 St Andrew Street in central Dunedin. It holds a Google rating of 4.5.

Kitchen

The menu covers Turkish standards — kebabs, mezes and baklava — using ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Lamb shish kebab and vegetarian moussaka are among the dishes reviewers regularly single out.

Dietary provision

Paasha is halal certified, with the certificate displayed in the restaurant, and staff accommodate gluten-free requirements. That combination is worth noting for conference organisers: halal certification is a genuine constraint for some international delegations, and verified options in Dunedin are limited.

Hours and service

Open seven days. Published hours are Monday to Wednesday 11.30am–3pm and 4.45pm–9pm, and Thursday to Sunday 11.30am–9pm. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all available. Confirm current hours before planning a group visit.

Suitability for groups and events

Paasha suits delegate dining, informal team meals and group lunches or dinners in central Dunedin, and is a practical option where halal or vegetarian requirements need to be met reliably. Its St Andrew Street location places it within walking distance of much of the Dunedin CBD and the city's central accommodation. It is a restaurant rather than a function venue — confirm maximum group size, booking arrangements and set-menu options directly.
